Couldn’t that fucking phone just shut up?
Rich’s cell phone was irritantly vibrating inside his pocket, and he couldn’t pick up, because he had his hands full. He dropped the papers he was carrying on the table and grabbed his phone. He felt very stressed now their third alb just had come out, and they had to do loads of promoting andhe lost a lot of sleep.“Yes!” he almost yelled into the receiver.
“Hi Rich, it’s me Alette, I was wondering…”
“Sorry hun, can’t talk to you now. I’ll get back to you, okay?Bye luv!”
Alright.
Alette was staring into the phone like she could get Rich back on the phone that way. “Oh yeah, I love you too, Ritchie Neville” she said angry to herself. She shook her head. Well she wasn’t goimgto sit next to the phone to wait for his call. She knew he was busy but sometimes she wondered about his strange behaviour. To destract herself she went shopping. While walking into town, she noticed people staring at her and some girls were whispering and giggling together. She frowned, then shrugged and went inside a bookstore. Her eye caught a big headline on the “Sun”:”Rich Five finds new love” with a big coverphoto of her and Rich underneath. She openedthe paper to read the story and cursed herself for not realizing how popular his popgroup really was. She hurried home, determined to talk to him as soon as possible.
I’m so tired. I’m not gonna get up before next morning.
Not that again.
Rich fell down on his sofa, with the intention to go to sleep there. Just when he closed his eyes his phone began to ring. He cursed and buried his head under a pillow, but the phone kept on ringing. Sighing, he sat up and picked the phone up. “Hello?”he said sleepily.
“Rich? It’s me Alette. Can you talk now?”
“Oh, Alette. Sure. I’m sorry about this afternoon, but I was so busy I..”
“Never mind. I want to talk to you babe, could we meet soon?”
“Alright, i’m off tomorrow afternoon. I’ll come around at three o’clock. Bye luv.”
Okay. Don’t get nervous.
Alette breathed deeply when she heard the doorbell and went to the door. She opened and smiled at Rich, and they kissed gently before she let him inside.
”You wanted to talk luv?”he asked.
“Yeah.” She led him into the living room and they sat down on the couch. “You know, I wanted..well, I need to know what impact your fame will have on our relationship.”
Rich sighed.He knew it would pop up eventually, but not this soon!
“Well, “he started, “They will probably take all of our private life, expose everything in the papers, following you everywhere and spread so much lies you only will know the truth. And that, my love, is a partof my life, and your life with me. And, in the end of the day, a part of what I’ve become.”
He was preparing her for the worst, and when he was spoken out he looked down at his shoes waiting for what she’d say. Alette grinned suddenly. “I’ll just have to live with that then, huh?”,br>
She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. She could survive thatand more for him, because she was in love.
“I love you too, baby”he whispered, reading her mind…
